Help with Panther Tattoo

[DrewCCU]

Not sure if this is exactly the right thread to post this - if not - feel free to move it

Okay, i've been thinking about what i want my next tattoo to be.  i've come to the conclusion that i'm seeing as how i'm a HUGE Carolina Panther fan (and love the team as a Boston fan loves the Red Sox) I need a panther tattoo (plus panthers are pretty f'n cool anyway).

However, i don't want to just get a tattoo of the Carolina Panthers logo (cus thats just tacky and unoriginal in my opinion) and i don't want some panther design that 10000000 people already have (cus lots of panther tattoos look the same).

So what i came up with is I want a tattoo that looks like a real panther - like an airbrush or painting.  However, when someone looks at it (especially a Carolina Fan) then they will know exactly what it represents. So i played around on photoshop and came up with a concept of kind of what i want:



It's a real panther but in the "Shape" (or a very similar shape) of the Carolina logo.  I'd like this guy to look a little meaner and i'm thinking MAYBE have a tint of the carolina blue in there somehow ... like, i dunno, possibly have it look like theres some sort of blue light source or something.

Anyway, i'm not a very good sketch artist/painter so i was hoping maybe some of you guys out there could draw me up something (better than this image) i can take to the tattoo artist and say "Make me something that looks cool like this".  I mean, i know i could take this image i came up with and explain it to the tattoo artist and he could do his on thing based on that - but i'd like to see what you guys can come up with if anyone wants to give it a shot.
